All of the sudden, it becomes job-like. Next time, we&#39;ll just ski, not worry about it, race if we feel like it, and have fun. It&#39;s about adventure - not racing.Dan Vhttp://thewhiteroom.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-62084056172594546892012-03-31T22:29:48.948-07:002012-03-31T22:29:48.948-07:00I assume you were on the Alaska Dog Mushers Associ...I assume you were on the Alaska Dog Mushers Association trails in and around Creamers Wildlife Refuge in Fairbanks on your short bike ride. We groom 28 looping miles, so it&#39;s easy to get turned around. The trails are multi-use, open to just about everything except ATVs and vehicles--snow machines are OK.<br /><br />(My skijoring dogs always think it&#39;s funny when we meet a biker out on the trail.)<br /><br />Google Earth maps are at:<br /><br />www.sleddog.org/maps/<br /><br />Tom<br />FairbanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-27392544594181684662012-03-31T15:02:16.052-07:002012-03-31T15:02:16.052-07:00I feel like I&#39;m mindful of avoiding injuries. ...I feel like I&#39;m mindful of avoiding injuries. My most common cause of injury is clumsiness, and even this I work to mitigate by holding back on descents and technical terrain. When I look at friends who struggled with long-term or overuse injuries, the most common cause seems to be speed, not volume. I&#39;ve actually been working up an article proposal about speed obsession and its effects on active lifestyles. It seems too many people get caught up in the allure of limitless improvement, when we don&#39;t all have the biomechanics or discipline to pull this off. We can&#39;t all be graceful gazelles. When I try to listen to my body it tells me I&#39;m a mule — strong, stubborn and slow. ;-)Jill Homerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-9690905291951185562012-03-31T14:00:09.773-07:002012-03-31T14:00:09.773-07:00So long as you don&#39;t get injured, it&#39;s all...So long as you don&#39;t get injured, it&#39;s all good.Dannihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-47535514963433831042012-03-31T12:49:20.504-07:002012-03-31T12:49:20.504-07:00I am always amazed by your efforts and even more a...I am always amazed by your efforts and even more amazed that you don&#39;t ever seem to sit back and bask in the afterglow of a big effort...ltclarkukhttp://lynsoutdoors.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
